Very sincerely yours, M. A. LeHand, PRIVATE SECRETARY Professor D. W. Pittman, Utah State Agricultural College, Agricultural Experiment Station, Logen, es Utah. UTAH STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Racid UTAH STATE agricultural college Agricultural Experiment Station Logan, Utah 2 March 1934 Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States, Washington, D.C. Sir: I am taking the liberty of sending you a copy of a little booklet entitled "A Road to Opportunity", which I have written in a purely pri- vate capacity, offering suggestions for more permanent relief for those now deprived of a normal chance to make a living. Should you take time to read it, you may note that I am heartily in accord with the ultimate objectives of the "New Deal" but that I am not hopeful of accomplishing permanent results by the present policy of artificially raising prices and of increasing public debt. There still seems to be lacking a workable plan that shall definitely offer to each of our citizens for all time a chance to earn an honest living. As I am constantly surrounded by fine young men facing what is prob- ably the most discouraging thing a young man can face - futility, hopeless inactivity - it seems that I cannot refrain from offering some suggestions based partly on observations made in Russia in 1930, suggestions which might at least serve as a starting point for a more satisfacto ry system. Since you are the man with the best understanding of the situation and the most opportunity for accomplishment, I am sending this copy of "A Road to Opportunity" to you direct. Should any of these suggestions prove to be of value in again offering opportunity to our people, it will be a fine thing; if not, there is no harm done. Wishing you all the success in the world, I am Very respectfully yours, D. W. Pittman D.W. Pittman, Professor of Soils, UTAH STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States, White House, Washington, D. C. Dear President Roosevelt: Through the courtesy of Mr. Lucien Franck, of the New York Times, New York Lodge No. 1, B. P. O. Elks is sending you a photograph made in its Lodge Room on the occasion of its Sixty-sixth Anniversary of the Birth of our Order, February 18, 1934. The picture is interesting, not only from the fact that it portrays a notable group of citizens, but that it also demonstrates the power of our fraternity to bring men of every shade of political thought and rivalry together in the name of brotherhood. Somehow the photograph, with its representatives of so many divergent political views, standing by the Flag draped altar of our Order in amicable accord, seems to symbolize the thought of brotherhood, which I know underlies your heroic efforts in behalf of "the New Deal". Respectfully and fraternally yours, SECRETARY. p.p.7. March 10, 1934. q-p My dear Mr. Pellew: Thank you ever so much for your friendly letter of March fourth.

Dear Mr. President: The Newport Chamber of Commerce has shipped you by express the first salmon taken from Lake Memphremagog on the opening day of the current fishing season. We hope that it will arrive in good condition. This salmon is probably unlike any you have ever seen. Mr. J. A. Rodd, director of Fish Culture at the Canadian Bio- logical Board in Ottawa, has pronounced it to be of the specie of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo Salar) anadromus, or a fish which has never been to sea. The Canadian government first stocked Lake Memphremagog with this specie in 1905 and it has successfully adapted itself to a life in fresh water. Mrs. Roosevelt paid Newport a brief visit last summer and perhaps remembers the lake in which this salmon was caught. Yours very truly, NEWPORT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BY Winston L.

Dear Mr. President:- Returning from Boston, where I have been consulting Houghton-Mifflin regardingthe Hudson Valley book, I found that excellent firm in something of a quandary over costs, etc. I wonder what you would think of reducing the scope of the work to include only the middle Hudson from say Ossining to Hudson. By doing so, it would not be necessary to go beyond your present collection of prints and steel engravings; and the expense would be reduced accordingly. The middle river is both the most picturesque and historic; and by concentrating upon that portion the text might be improved as a result of conciseness and closer detail. I am making bold to send you an autographed copy of my new novel, Once A Wilderness, which I think may interest you as a picture of the blind struggle between agrìiculture and industry which has been under way in this country for the re result of results of many years and which now engagex SO much of your attention. 1 With all respect and esteem, I am, Yours most respectfully, Grthus Pound Grthur 7 pa P May 10, 1934.
